Definitions

  • Drummond Scientific's associated pipetter products have been highly successful in the marketplace ⁇ making Drummond a leader in the pipetter field.
  • Drummond was one of the first if not the first to develop a practical, economical handheld gun-shaped portable pipetter device that allowed a laboratory technician or other user to depress variable-stroke push buttons to vary the amount of suction applied to the uppermost end of a pipette.
  • the user simply attaches a pipette to the gun-shaped handle and places the bottom end of the pipette into a liquid to be dispensed. Depressing the top button with a forefinger causes the pipetter to apply suction that draws liquid up into the pipette tube.
  • a conventional coupling arrangement 112 is disposed to accept and retain the open end of pipettes 54.
  • a user couples a disposable pipette to the coupler 52 to dispense a certain liquid, and then removes and throws away the disposable pipette once all of the liquid has been dispensed.
  • the user uses a fresh sterilized disposable pipette to dispense a different liquid.
  • laboratories may use higher precision pipettes made of glass or other materials that are washed and sterilized after each use.
  • a non-linear system model is used in the exemplary illustrative non-limiting device 50 to provide accurate automatic dispensing of fluid quantities from pipette P.
  • column height is indirectly measured by measuring the vacuum at the top of the column and the top of the column is sealed. This vacuum pressure is used to determine how long the valve must be opened to dispense a given desired amount of liquid.
  • the model used in the exemplary illustrative non-limiting implementation takes into account and models the non-linearity in the relationship between column height vacuum pressure and valve opening time.
  • a math coprocessor may not be necessary, depending upon the microcontroller and/or programming language used.
